Dodgers’ Tanner Scott Points to Pitch-Tipping After Walk-Off Grand Slam Loss

Public backing plus catcher accountability define the Dodgers’ immediate response.

Overview

  • Scott surrendered a 10th-inning walk-off grand slam to Patrick Bailey in San Francisco, sealing a 5-1 Giants win.
  • The left-hander told reporters he might be tipping pitches and called this the worst year of his life as hitters "are on everything."
  • Manager Dave Roberts said Scott is "going through it" and emphasized efforts to restore his confidence before the postseason.
  • Catcher Ben Rortvedt said he feels responsible for some of the pitch calls in recent late-inning collapses and pledged to adjust.
  • Season metrics highlight the slide, with a 5.01 ERA over roughly 50 innings, a 13.50 ERA across his last seven outings, and multiple blown saves, as outside reports note the club has even considered using Shohei Ohtani in relief.
